Cry Lyme Disease - I HATE ticks

A few weeks ago I had taken Andrew to the vet because he had started to limp on his front right leg. At times he was holding it up and really favoring it. They had given him anti-inflammatories and it seemed to have settled down. Over the past 10 days, he was acting lethargic, felt warm and started to limp on his front leg again. I took him to the vet today and he tested positive for lyme disease. I was shocked to say the least. He's been treated with Advantix and I only recall finding one tick on him this spring.

He's on antibiotics now and the vet sent off the test to see how much lyme is in his system. For those not using Advantix or something similar....it must be done in addition to their vaccinations against Lyme disease.

Hopefully he'll be feeling better soon.
